Chapter 15 Chapter 15 Brother, I feel pain
The moment the bone blade swung down, Jiang Xun subconsciously closed his eyes.
But the expected pain did not come.
Amid the thunderous sound of his heartbeat, he seemed to hear a heavy thud as something heavy fell to the ground, followed by a shrill scream that almost pierced his eardrums.
"Are you waiting to die with your eyes closed, Jiang Xun? Run!" A loud shout exploded above his head.
Jiang Xun suddenly opened his eyes.
Under the golden-red backlight of the evening, the slightly thin figure was riding on the monster's back, with his knees pressing on the monster's right limbs, and holding some sharp metal object in his hand, which was being poked into the monster's compound eyes.
For a moment, he couldn't tell whether the sound of his heartbeat was due to nervousness or... something else.
The splashing green liquid was thrown everywhere by the violently struggling monster, staining the young man's clean light gray clothes.
Jiang Xun looked carefully and found that what Chen Luan was holding in his hand was just a pair of craft scissors.
Jiang Xun let out the breath he had been holding, gasped sharply, and quickly got up, walked over the monster that was screaming and struggling violently on the ground, and Chen Luan who was obviously unable to hold down the monster, and ran towards the door.
But before he even left the house, Jiang Xun turned back and said, "Chen Luan, you—"
"Stop talking nonsense and getting in the way. Run!"
Chen Luan didn't even turn his head, but calmly pressed down the monster's head. The latter struggled, and the sharp bone spurs on its body brushed against Chen Luan's forearm, and the gray shirt was immediately stained dark.
He gritted his teeth, adjusted his stance, and forcibly grasped the monster's neck again, panting softly, "I'll be fine. I won't let go until you run away!"
Jiang Xun looked at Chen Luan in silence, his eyes filled with turbulent emotions. He clenched his knuckles tightly, then released them again: "Okay. You... be careful!"
The footsteps gradually faded away.
Chen Luan, who was gradually losing strength, grabbed the scissors and stabbed the other compound eye with all his strength.
The monster screamed in pain and shook its body violently.
Chen Luan took the opportunity to let go, kicked the monster hard on the back, and landed steadily on the ground with a neat flip.
While the monster was losing its sight and running around in the utility room, Chen Luan kicked down the heavy metal cabinet against the wall, blocked the door, and quickly left the spot and ran towards the first floor.
There was a sound of collision coming from the storage room behind. Maybe the monster would be able to escape soon.
I was only halfway down the stairs when I heard another hoarse scream of extreme fear from the first floor.
And another howl that didn't sound like a human voice.
? !!
There's another one?!
Chen Luan was stunned for half a second, then immediately hurried downstairs.
From a distance, he saw Jiang Xun half leaning against the porch pillar, his right leg covered in blood.
Not far from him were two students lying, seriously injured and unconscious.
There was a huge hole in the vent on the ceiling of the hall, and a twisted shadow was crawling beside it.
Below the vent, a handsome young man sat on the ground, half of his left arm torn off. He looked up at the monster that had just attacked them and climbed onto the ceiling, trembling all over.
A light yellow transparent liquid flowed out from under him uncontrollably.
Only then did Chen Luan see clearly that the patient on the ceiling had become so degraded that he no longer looked human. He was clinging to the ceiling with reptilian limbs, with only a human head and sharp insect-like mouthparts opening and closing.
With the humming sound of its wings, the reptile turned its head downward.
Fresh blood was constantly flowing out of the boy's broken arm, and the smell attracted it.
Then it moved.
Chen Luan subconsciously shouted, "Run!"
But it was too late.
The young man was obviously completely frightened and froze in place without moving.
Chen Luan only had time to run to Jiang Xun's side. The moment the reptile fell to the ground, he subconsciously held Jiang Xun in his arms and covered Jiang Xun's eyes.
A teeth-grinding chewing sound mixed with shrill screams echoed in the empty hall.
A strong smell of blood spread.
Jiang Xun moved slightly, but Chen Luan pressed him even harder in his arms.
"Don't look."
The young man's steady voice sounded not far above his head. His nostrils were filled with the clean soap scent of Chen Luan's body, as well as a faint, refreshing smell like the mossy mist in the depths of the forest.
The reassuring smell surrounded him, almost dispelling the bloody smell that permeated the air.
The boy's screams had stopped, and the other two classmates were lying there unconscious. Chen Luan couldn't take care of so many people at the same time.
He had no choice but to give Jiang Xun a simple hemostasis and help him up while the reptile was eating.
"Can you still walk?"
Jiang Xun supported Chen Luan's shoulders and stood up. He immediately felt a sharp pain from the torn wound on his right leg.
Cold sweat immediately broke out on Jiang Xun's forehead. His face turned pale and he gritted his teeth without saying a word.
"Come up." Chen Luan bent down.
"Yeah." Jiang Xun responded in a low voice, and climbed onto Chen Luan's back skillfully like he did in the previous days.
"Your leg has a very unfortunate fate. A few days ago it was your right foot, and today it's your right leg. Others have golden left cheeks, so why not give you a silver right leg?"
Chen Luan smiled and took Jiang Xun's thigh, shaking it up a bit, and still had time to joke.
Jiang Xun knew that Chen Luan was just trying to divert his attention and relieve the tension and pain.
"What a ridiculous and lame joke." Chen Luan seemed to hear a chuckle behind him.
"Hold tight."
Chen Luan carried Jiang Xun on his back, carefully avoided the reptiles, and ran quickly towards the gate.
Sirens were already being heard outside.
Only then did Chen Luan notice that one of the reptile's elytra was broken in half and two of its legs were broken.
In a flash, Chen Luan thought of the patient with desolate disease who had escaped after injuring someone a few days ago.
I didn’t expect it to be hidden in the ventilation duct of the school auditorium!
Is the school security department just there for nothing? How did they get in?
It seemed that the approaching sirens disturbed the reptile. It suddenly stopped eating, raised its head, and the tentacles on its forehead trembled.
The elytra vibrated with a buzzing sound.
There were also footsteps outside.
Chen Luan couldn't run fast with Jiang Xun on his back and was still some distance away from the gate.
But suddenly the reptile moved.
It chased after Chen Luan!
Oh no.
Chen Luan gritted his teeth and cold sweat began to break out on his back.
"Put me down, Chen Luan." Jiang Xun lay on Chen Luan's back, the pain in his legs making his voice a little hoarse. "With me, you can't run fast."
"What are you talking about? Hold on tight." Chen Luan forced himself to speed up again, panting heavily and rapidly while laughing:
"...I'm your brother. How could a brother abandon his younger brother?"
"They're not my biological children."
"What's wrong with not being my biological son? He's still my brother."
The two people were getting closer and closer to the gate, but the reptiles behind them were chasing them more and more closely.
It looked like it was about to pounce on me.
Chen Luan gritted his teeth, turned around, and threw Jiang Xun out the door.
Then, when the reptile's limbs stabbed at him, he rolled on the ground and narrowly avoided it.
"Chen Luan——"
In the chaos, Chen Luan heard a familiar shout.
It’s Jiang Ling.
"Chen Luan, go on!"
Something was thrown over by Jiang Ling who came over panting.
Chen Luan dodged the reptile's attack again by nimbly turning over and raising his hand to catch it.
It turned out to be a black □□!
Without caring where Jiang Ling got the gun from, Chen Luan quickly loaded the gun and took aim.
Jiang Xun, who was thrown out by Chen Luan, was caught by Jiang Ling who came rushing over. When the two looked up, they saw Chen Luan raising his hand to catch the gun that was thrown at him.
The pitch-black gun body turned flexibly in his hand. Chen Luan was like an agile cheetah, his body almost stretched into a tight bow.
He supported himself on the ground with one hand, turned over and jumped up, and swung his other hand casually -
With a crisp sound——
One-handed loading!
This was followed by two "bang, bang" sounds, so fast that the two people almost thought that Chen Luan didn't aim at all!
However, from their perspective, two blood flowers bloomed on the reptilian man's head with incredible precision and speed!
The insect shrieked sharply and took a few steps back, shaking its elytra, opening its bloody mouth and shaking its body, as if preparing to launch another attack.
On the other side, the task force was also rushing towards this side, and their figures could be seen approaching quickly.
"Don't stare at my two ancestors, run!"
Chen Luan rushed over, grabbed Jiang Xun with one hand and threw him on his back, and held Jiang Ling with the other hand. He turned back and fired two more shots, accurately hitting the reptile's arthropod joints and successfully slowing down the insect's crawling speed.
When the two groups met, a member of the task force with an internship armband on his shoulder came out sweating profusely, looking almost anxious and crying.
He frantically grabbed Jiang Ling's shoulders and collapsed, "Classmate, classmate! Where's my gun? Can you please return the gun you stole to me?! If I lose my gun, I'll fail my internship and be expelled! I worked so hard to get in."
"Where did you get the gun?" Chen Luan paused to catch his breath. Upon hearing this, he bent down and approached Jiang Ling, raising his eyebrows and looking at her: "Did you steal it?"
Jiang Ling's eyes shifted. "Isn't this an emergency? Just tell me if it will work. Anyway, you graduated from a military academy, so you know how to use a gun. In an emergency, we must act accordingly."
"You have quite a few twisted theories." Chen Luan reached out and ruffled Jiang Ling's hair. After receiving Jiang Ling's angry glare, he narrowed his eyes and continued, "But you did come just in time. Let me praise you, our... um, savior?"
"You're welcome. I just wanted to save my brother." Jiang Ling turned her head away, speaking stubbornly.
"Yeah, that's right. A brother who isn't related by blood is still a brother. Thank you for saving me." Chen Luan deliberately misinterpreted Jiang Ling's meaning and took out the gun before Jiang Ling could get angry: "Is this the one you lost?"
"Yes, yes, yes." The trainee breathed a sigh of relief and took the gun, but when he touched the still hot barrel, his face immediately frowned into a bitter melon.
"Hey, you, fired a gun? What should I do? I have to write a report on every bullet fired—"
"I am a teacher at a federal military academy and can legally carry a gun in an emergency."
Chen Luan fished his work ID from his pocket and showed it to him. "It was an emergency, so I had to shoot. Two shots hit the head, and two hit the joints. If you hadn't let it escape again, you should have found shrapnel in it."
"Is it the one who ran away that day?" The young man looked up in surprise, and then became embarrassed again.
They had accidentally let an extremely dangerous desolate species escape before, and they had all been scolded and trending on the Internet. Today, the school was in trouble again...
It's over now.
In recent years, incidents of people being injured by patients with the disease have become more and more frequent, and the monsters created by the disease have become more and more difficult to deal with.
There were rumors that the military was planning to disband the task force and establish a new unit specifically to handle these types of incidents, drawing personnel from the military and recruiting students from military academies. And now the task force is repeatedly failing to perform its duties...
It’s killing me, he just passed the exam and got a job!!!
However, most of the time, human joys and sorrows are not shared, and all of this has nothing to do with the three brothers of the Jiang family for the time being.
At this time they had arrived at the emergency evacuation point, where an ambulance was already on standby.
Jiang Xun had begun to lose consciousness due to blood loss and was leaning drowsily in Chen Luan's arms.
Chen Luan touched his forehead and his heart sank.
It's already starting to get a fever.
The young man in his arms gently grasped Chen Luan's collar, sweat was beading on his forehead, his thick eyelashes like crow feathers drooped, and a layer of dry and pale color appeared on his lips.
Chen Luan wanted Jiang Xun to lean on Jiang Ling first. He was going to get some water to moisten Jiang Xun's lips, but when he was about to stand up, the young man hugged his waist tightly.
"elder brother……"
The pale, delicate young man rubbed Chen Luan's chest, his arms wrapped around him. His face flushed with the heat, and he frowned slightly, his voice a hoarse, weak gasp: "It hurts."
